Move and resize chart items with the mouse

Microsoft Excel automatically sizes titles to accommodate their text. You can move titles with the mouse but you cannot resize them.

  1. Click the chart area, the plot area, or the legend you want to move or resize.
  2. To move an item, point to the item, and then drag it to another location.

    To resize an item, point to a sizing handle. When the pointer changes to a double-headed arrow, drag the sizing handle until the item is the size you want.
